Agricultural commons

Agricultural commons refer to shared resources, knowledge, or land used collectively by local farming communities. These shared assets are managed by the community to ensure sustainable use and access for all members, preventing individual overuse and depletion. Examples include communal grazing lands, seed-sharing systems, or water resources. Proper management of these commons helps sustain local agriculture, conserves biodiversity, and supports community livelihoods, balancing individual needs with the collective good.
